Dan Howell is bringing the “ultimate version” of his live comedy stage show We’re All Doomed! to the internet Feb. 25.
Howell–who recently returned to making videos with longtime creative partner Phil Lester on their shared YouTube channel DanAndPhilGAMES–took We’re All Doomed! on more than 80 tour stops across the U.S., U.K., Australia, and New Zealand in 2022 and 2023.
But he knew that even with all those stops, he couldn’t accommodate every one of his fans who wanted to see him live.
So, he’s decided to cap it all off with the livestreamed version, which will air on Kiswe (the interactive streaming platform that’s worked with creators like Smosh and Rhett & Link) Feb. 25 at 3 p.m. Eastern, and be available to audiences around the world for $14.99.

Yesterday morning, Phil Lester tweeted a mysterious invitation calling all the internet to join him and Dan Howell on YouTube that evening. Phan theories instantly ran wild.
And they had a good reason to.
DanAndPhilGAMES is officially back.
For those who weren’t around for that particular chapter of YouTube history, here’s the tl;dr: Beginning in 2018, Howell and Lester regularly uploaded videos to their shared gaming channel. Many of the 279 uploads focused on their Sims game, where their digital child Dil had extensive lore and a rich, often chaotic life. The channel spawned a major fanbase and racked up hundreds of millions of views.
Then, in December 2018, DanAndPhilGAMES went silent. Both Howell and Lester took a creative break, with Howell especially quiet through June 2019, when he posted a video on his personal channel coming out as “basically” gay. (Lester followed with his own coming out video a month later.

Drew Barrymore is at a crossroads.
No, not figuratively; in her life and career, the actor-turned-director-turned-talk-show-host has never been more confident in her path. But literally speaking, she’s a bit stuck.
On a Tuesday evening in April, the Variety Power of Women honoree arrived at a Chelsea photo studio, only to find a broken elevator. It’s posing a problem because Barrymore hurt her ankle, making the trek up five flights of stairs more perilous than it needs to be.
The gaggle of publicists and assistants who surround the actor debate what to do: Reschedule the shoot? Carry her upstairs? Never mind. Barrymore takes matters into her own hands, opting to summit the staircase alone — though a member of her team helps hoist her up the final steps.
What’s life without a little excitement?

YouTube has again turned to big-name entertainment personalities to anchor its latest slate of ad-supported originals.
At its Brandcast Delivered event for advertisers Tuesday, YouTube announced an unscripted series with Will Smith following his latest fitness journey and a new docuseries with Alicia Keys premiering this summer.
The video giant also announced the third and final season of comedy “Liza on Demand,” starring popular comedian and YouTube creator Liza Koshy — marking the last of YouTube’s scripted originals, after phasing them out starting in 2019; “Ice Cold,” a docuseries produced by hip-hop trio Migos exploring issues around racial inequity; and a new special celebrating Asian and Pacific Islander culture from executive producers including LeBron James and Michelle Kwan.
The YouTube Originals strategy remains the same: They’re projects built around personalities and top YouTube creators designed to draw a large audience, as well as specials to support specific causes, said YouTube chief business officer Robert Kyncl.

Roughly two weeks after his frequentcreative collaborator Daniel Howell came out as gay in a scorching, 45-minute vlog complete with five different chapters, Phil Lester has taken a decidedly breezier approach to his own coming out video -- aptly titled Coming Out To You, which he released yesterday, the final day of Pride Month.
In Howell's video, he hinted that he and Lester -- who have collaborated on mobile games, tours, tour documentaries, and countless YouTube videos -- “were more than friends,” given that there has been much feverish speculation about their relationship over the years. But this is Lester’s first proclamation on his sexuality. That's because his channel -- which counts subscribers 4.2 million subscribers -- is primarily dedicated to entertaining viewers rather than updating them on his personal life. But “hopefully,” Lester says, “my story will help some of you.”

Daniel Howell, the massively popular U.K. vlogger, announced yesterday that he’s “basically” gay in a 45-minute video with five chapters -- in which he discusses coming to terms with his sexuality over the years despite countless roadblocks. The video has been viewed roughly 4 million times in 24 hours, and remains at the No. 1 spot on YouTube’s trending tab, above a new single from Taylor Swift.
It’s been almost exactly a year since year-old Howell has uploaded a video on his flagship channel, which counts 6.5 million subscribers, though he has appeared in clips alongside frequent collaborator Phil Lester on their joint gaming channel. Howell and Lester’s relationship has long been subject to romantic speculation -- a fact Howell also addresses in his coming out video.

After intense fan backlash on social media to Sonic the Hedgehog’s human teeth, the director of the upcoming film featuring the video game character is vowing to make changes to appease fans.
“Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear… you aren’t happy with the design & you want changes,” tweeted director Jeff Fowler on Thursday. “It’s going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the Best he can be…”

There’s a moment in the first trailer for “Sonic the Hedgehog” where the iconic, speedy blue hedgehog looks in terror as he first comes in contact with James Marsden. That look has been speeding around the internet to describe how people are reacting to the teaser that dropped on Tuesday.
The CGI character design for the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog has not been received warmly online. Sonic’s look has been compared to Mike Myers in the live-action “The Cat in the Hat,” to the Woody Woodpecker live-action movie made for a fraction of the budget, or to that kid who turns into a werewolf in Robin Williams’ “Jumanji.”
“After watching that ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ trailer I would like to formally announce that I am no longer a furry,” comedian Daniel Howell said in a particularly brutal tweet.

As year-end best-of list season ushers in, microblogging platform Tumblr has unveiled the web celebs and series that were the most popular among its community in 2018, as part of the platform's annual Year In Review.
Tumblr compiles that venture by examining thousands of lines of data, it says, scouring popular tags and then ranking them according to search frequency as well as the total number of original posts, reblogs, and likes. The company calls this rating technique ‘Fandometrics’.
Gamers have massive sway on Tumblr, with the top two spots on the 'Web Celebrities' list (see below) being filled by U.K. vlogger Sean 'Jacksepticeye' McLoughlin and Mark 'Markiplier' Fischbach, respectively. And while McLoughlin and Fischbach recently teamed together on a clothing line called Cloak, the third and fourth spots on the list also belong to frequent collaborators Daniel Howell and Phil Lester.
